pip in small end

[muddyhorse]

so I was downstairs checking the hatcher four giant frizzle cochins and two silkies so far

I'm so excited. anyway in the other bator which is supposed to go in to lockdown today I swore I heard cheeping, of course sleep deprived me was hearing cheeping in the bookstore yesterday

anyway there was a pip in one of the eggs in the small end. I can see a beak it has piped through, I added the water stopped the turner (it is a brower so the arms sweep the eggs ) and put them in to cartons. I know this egg isn't due to hatch yet and could reorient, should I put it in the carton pip up or big end up ????? help

I would try to lay it on its side in the carton, just make sure the pip is up. You may have to help it but I think laying on the side would be the best way to insure safety for the chick.

The chick is out

I put it in the carton small end up, It went from pip to out in 7 hours, which seems resonable. I;ll try to get pics up later.
